Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

New possibilities have recently emerged for producing optical beams with complex and intricate structures, and for the non-contact optical manipulation of matter. This book fully describes the electromagnetic theory, optical properties, methods and applications associated with this new technology. Detailed discussions are given of unique beam characteristics, such as optical vortices and other wavefront structures, the associated phase properties and photonic aspects, along with applications ranging from cold atom manipulation to optically driven micromachines.

Features include:

* Comprehensive and authoritative treatments of the latest research in this area of nanophotonics, written by the leading researchers
* Accounts of numerous microfluidics, nanofabrication, quantum informatics and optical manipulation applications
* Coverage that fully spans the subject area, from fundamental theory and simulations to experimental methods and results

Graduate students and established researchers in academia, national laboratories and industry will find this book an invaluable guide to the latest technologies in this rapidly developing field.

*Comprehensive and definitive source of the latest research in nanotechnology written by the leading people in the field
*From theory to applications - all is presented in detail
*Editor is Chair of the SPIE Nanotechnology Technical Group and is leading the way in generation and manipulation of complex beams

Informazioni sull?autore

David L. Andrews is Emeritus Professor of Chemical Physics at the University of East Anglia, UK. His research, covering a wide range of topics in spectroscopy, optics, photonics, and quantum science, has produced over four hundred scientific papers, nearly all of them applying the tools of molecular quantum electrodynamics. As an author and editor, he has already published more than twenty books, including Lasers in Chemistry, Resonance Energy Transfer, Structured Light and its Applications, Optical Nanomanipulation, and an Introduction to Photon Science and Technology. David has organized more than a hundred international conferences, both in Europe and North America, including several now well-established series: Complex Light and Optical Forces at Photonics West, Nanophotonics at Photonics Europe, and several iterations of the International Conference on Optical Angular Momentum. He is an awardee of the RSC Horizon Prize in 2022 and the IOP Thomas Young Award in 2023. David is a Fellow of SPIE – the international society for optics and photonics; also Optica; the Institute of Physics; and the Royal Society of Chemistry. He served as elected President of SPIE in 2021.
